Mayor Bob Filner continued his political free fall Wednesday as a third woman came forward accusing him of sexual harassment, a top aide exited after only 10 days on the job and the local Democratic Party said it will once again consider a formal call for his resignation.

The bad news didn’t stop there. An unidentified employee also filed an employment complaint against Filner with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing and a national group representing women veterans removed Filner as the keynote speaker for a fundraising gala next month.

It’s now been two weeks since former political allies levied anonymous sexual harassment allegations at Filner in the hope he would resign before a media circus enveloped city government and the people’s business ground to a halt. The mayor has steadfastly resisted calls to step down and the predictable maelstrom has ensued with Filner hunkered down at City Hall.

The latest accuser is Morgan Rose, a psychologist with the San Diego Unified School District and founder of the America’s Angel Campaign, a group that promotes the well-being of children nationwide.

In an interview with U-T San Diego, Rose said she first met then-Rep. Filner in early 2009 in an effort to get him to take up the America’s Angel cause with the Obama administration. Filner called her a week-and-a-half later to set up a second meeting. They agreed to meet at a Marie Callender’s restaurant across the street from his congressional office.

Rose said she assumed the meeting was to vet her credibility so she brought her resume and other materials. When he arrived, Filner sat across from Rose and told her he had already talked to Michelle Obama about her organization and the first lady was interested. Rose said she was thrilled until something bizarre happened.

“Then he got this strange look on his face, strange look in his eyes, and then said to me ‘Your eyes have bewitched me,’” Rose said.

According to Rose’s account, Filner then moved to her side of the booth to sit next to her. He put his arm around her and then tried to kiss her for several minutes, at times moving her head to try to force their lips to touch. She pleaded with him to stop and asked him to return to his original seat. She then asked him, “What would your wife say if she was sitting here listening to you?”

“And he laughed this laugh that was just crazy, like I had said the craziest thing he had ever heard,” Rose said. “But what became scary was I was being restrained. I could not dictate my life at that point. He was dictating it. And it was awful.”

Filner didn’t stop until his cellphone rang. He took the call and left. “He left me sitting there in shock and insulted,” Rose said.

Rose is the third woman to go public with accusations against Filner. The first was Irene McCormack Jackson, who served as the mayor’s communications director from January to June. She described a hostile work environment in which women were treated by Filner as “sexual objects or stupid idiots.”
